Do you have what it takes be an entrepreneur?

The economic scenario in India is quite an attraction for the ‘budding entrepreneurs’. A lot of young professionals on the block are more and more inspired to start up their own ventures, to be kings of their own castles, so to say, to be their own boss.
Entrepreneur is not a designation, entrepreneur is a mentality. It’s the way you think, not the title that you own.

Here are three major questions you need to have answered in the positive to know whether there is an entrepreneur in you waiting to be found:

Are you self driven? An entrepreneur is so because he takes initiative, without which an enterprise does not come into existence. Do you go out and greet people, talk to them, discuss with them, motivate them, appreciate them on your own accord? An entrepreneur has skill with people. He has the charisma, confidence and control over his intentions and influence.

Are you pushy? An entrepreneur does not take no for an answer. He would ask again, wait around, and look for new ways of entry, until his work gets done. He would you not hesitate to ask for favours quite out of the expected or do things that normally people would pass off.

Do you take responsibility? It is easier to take risks but an entrepreneur takes responsibility. He owns up for his actions and takes full credit of the consequences of what he does. He is fully aware of his intentions and because he makes it clear, he takes full responsibility in creating results.
